CVE-2026-53198

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on double SMB2_CANCEL

A deferred byte-range lock (an SMB2_LOCK that blocks) registers an async work on
conn->async_requests via setup_async_work(), with cancel_fn =
smb2_remove_blocked_lock and cancel_argv[0] pointing at the struct file_lock.

When the request is cancelled, the worker frees the file_lock with
locks_free_lock() and takes the cancelled early-exit, which "goto out"s and never
reaches release_async_work() -- the only site that unlinks the work from
conn->async_requests and clears cancel_fn/cancel_argv. The work therefore stays
matchable on async_requests with a live cancel_fn pointing at the freed file_lock,
until connection teardown finally runs release_async_work().

smb2_cancel() fires cancel_fn unconditionally with no state guard, so a second
SMB2_CANCEL for the same AsyncId, arriving in that window, re-runs
smb2_remove_blocked_lock() on the freed file_lock -- a slab use-after-free:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __locks_delete_block

  Allocated by ...: locks_alloc_lock <- smb2_lock
  Freed by ...:     locks_free_lock  <- smb2_lock (cancelled branch)
  ... cache file_lock_cache of size 192

Reproduced on mainline with KASAN by an authenticated SMB client.

Skip a work whose state is already KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED so its cancel callback
cannot be fired a second time.
